This is a great place to stay, we had a wonderful time at the Garden Cottage. Robin the host was very kind and a pleasure to get to know. The location is excellent and very quiet and peaceful. The grounds are beautiful and the neighborhood is great for walking your dogs. We highly recommend staying at Robins Garden Cottage, we will be back next year for sure !

The cottage is quaint, comfortable and everything you could want for an overnight stay or a weekend getaway, or longer! Charming cottage decor, beautiful gardens, nice full kitchen, which Robin thoughtfully has stocked with coffee and half and half should you need a cup in the morning to start your day. A queen bedroom, 1 full bath (also stocked with all of the things should you have forgotten any of yours, including nice cotton robes!) twin daybed, and couch were perfect for myself, my daughter and small dog. Yes, dogs are welcome!The location is 5 minutes from Clinton center, close to beaches and restaurants, etc.Highly recommend this gem of a cottage!

House is well equipped with everything you would need. Great proximity to local beaches and amenities in town. Met the owner who was very nice and chatted with them for a while we were outside and they gardened. Our dog loved the yard.

The cottage is adorable. Cottage is next to the home of the host and there is a shared driveway. The yards are also shared. Cottage was decorated well, lots of nice details and care taken in selecting items for the interior. Kitchen had dishes, pots, pans, all that one needs to cook, as well as a few things to take your meal with you to the beach. Check in process was simple, door was left unlocked. Linens had not been cleaned, so the first night because we discovered the linens needed washing so late, we were too exhausted to wash them- had to put down a towel to sleep on top of the linens due to the pet hair/unknown hair/etc. The next day we washed the sheets and pillow cases on the bed and day bed and slept well that second night. Cottage was close to the beach, close to the shops and restaurants. It took us just a few minutes to get anywhere we wanted to go.

Wonderful Cottage

We had a marvelous one week stay at Robin's cottage. Our host was very friendly and helpful. Location is very convenient and close to many points of interest, 5 Minutes to the beach, half an hour to New Haven or Gillette Castle. Thanks so very much

Great Location! You could walk a mile to the beach if you wanted to. So many restaruants in the area as well. The kitchen was fully stocked. We had everything we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and with linens. Definitely pet friendly property. The home was clean (bathroom, kitchen) but there were a lot of spider webs throughout the place and the ceiling fans were very dusty (to the point that I didnt want to turn them on)Overall, great place.

Beautiful little place with everything!

Our host Robin made her “gardeners cottage” into our little home away from home with plenty of well stocked towels and sheets a cozy and very well equipped kitchen and possibly the best space economy for comfortable sleeping I’ve seen. Added to this was her obvious great taste and knowledge of color scheme and art, and this made for a really lovely stay! Close to Madison and Hamonasset so we will definitely try to return in warmer months!

Gardners cottage

The gardners cottage was a wonderful place to stay for 2 weeks while house being renovated. Robin was a very responsive host - communication with her was easy and timely which was appreciated. The cottage is as described and was a quiet respite. The gardens and flowers in the yard are beautiful and we enjoyed sitting in the outside area in the evening. Location was convenient to shopping, highway, etc. Would definitely recommend.
